70 Lbs of Belly Bacon Extra Smokey - QVIEW

Here are pictures of huge smoke cabinet too.

The mail man must have got Garys package...lol. Discos check is lost in the mail and the bacon is two secret locations. The next project is some pastrami SmokinAL style. It has been in the brine cure10 days and should be about ready.

I also scored another huge smoke cabinet. This was one that I bought at an auction 15years ago. It came out of the Elks Lodge in new Braunfels, TX. I had it a couple years but sold after a while to a friend. I just didn't use it much because of the size. Anyway my friend never did anything with it either. Several time over the years I tried to buy it back but he wouldn't sell it. Then this past week out of the clear blue he tell me,"when are you going to come by the ranch with your trailer".I said why? He then told me he was going to GIVE  it back to me because he knew I would put it to good use. Well, several days later after using a skid loader to put it on my trailer, it has earned its place next to my wooden smoke house. It is needing a  little TLC from being out in the weather and the stack needs to be enlarged, but it still in good shape being 1/4"thick plate steel. Here are a couple teaser pictures for now. Who knows if I will keep it or not because this smoker cabinet is way bigger than my needs but for now I will see how it works out. Fire brick bottom too, sits right on the ground. Has adjustable turn table grate for meat items with sausage hanger hooks above at the top.
